I bought HW in the 2-book box and never played it because of the bidding
system. Otherwise there is a lot that is HQ. I doubt it would break your
head that bad. In some ways it made HQ easier for me to get as I wanted
to use HW but didn't like the abstract combat. HQ does a very good job
of explaining and simplifying contests and helping them make sense.
